A two-stroke engine includes a cylinder having a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is delimited by a piston guided in a reciprocating manner in the cylinder and drives a crankshaft. A first intake channel opens into the crankcase interior. A transfer channel opens into the crankcase interior via a transfer window on a cylinder bore of the cylinder and via a passage opening. A second intake channel is provided for supplying scavenging air to the transfer channel. The first intake channel and the second intake channel are configured for supplying air. An injection valve configured for injecting the entire quantity of fuel to be supplied to the engine directly into the crankcase interior is disposed on the crankcase. A method for operating a two-stroke engine provides that the entire quantity of fuel to be supplied to the engine via a metering installation is supplied directly to the crankcase interior.

A two-stroke engine (1) is disclosed comprising a cylinder (2), a piston (3) arranged to reciprocate in the cylinder (2), a crankcase (5), a fuel injector (7) configured to inject fuel into the crankcase (5), an air inlet (9) connected to the crankcase (5), and a stratified scavenging intake (11) connected to the cylinder (2). The engine (1) comprises a throttle (13) configured to control the amount of air supplied to the air inlet (9) and to the stratified scavenging intake (11). The present disclosure further relates to handheld power tool (50) comprising an engine (1).

In an opposed-piston engine, two or more fuel injectors are mounted to a cylinder for direct side injection into the cylinder. The injectors are controlled so as to inject either a single fuel pulse or a plurality of fuel pulses per cycle of engine operation in order to initiate combustion during varying engine speeds and operating conditions.

The injectors are controlled so as to inject either a single fuel pulse or a plurality of fuel pulses per cycle of engine operation in order to initiate combustion during varying engine speeds and operating conditions.

An electronic injection two-stroke endothermic engine comprising an upper fuel injector (13) and a lower fuel injector (14), both accommodated in an intake duct (12) directly facing the cylinder (1), the latter closed by a head to form a combustion chamber (6) with one or more spark plugs (5) and connected to a pump-crankcase underneath via a plurality of side transfer ports (7, 8) which a central transfer port (15) is added to and crosses said intake duct (12) and allows the fuel sprayed by said lower injector (14) to reach the inside of the cylinder (1).

A power tool has an internal combustion engine with an injection valve through which fuel is supplied to the internal combustion engine; a crankcase; and a crankshaft arranged in the crankcase so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. A fan wheel housing is provided and a fan wheel is arranged in the fan wheel housing and conveys cooling air to the internal combustion engine. In the fan wheel housing a connecting opening is formed. The injection valve is arranged in a cooling area, wherein cooling air is supplied by the fan wheel through the connecting opening to the cooling area.
